is it worth to spend the money all im not looking for anything crazy just something with a little kick to it. i found this write up on a all motor monster. and i liked what i read it also fits my need b/cmy teg is my dd mosot of the time. anyway i want peoples input thanks!!

BrutalB83

It depends on your wants and your budget really. How much money do you have to spend and how much power do you want to make?

soto2635

got about 2g's amd wanting to make about 170-180 to the wheels

BrutalB83

If that's the case then the build that you mentioned would probably work out pretty good for you. I'm assuming you're talking about the "all motor LS monster" article in the FAQ section?

soto2635

yea, and maybe later on a 50 shot, i would really like to got forced induction but that just to much to maintain. with diffrent rods and a vfac i could make some more power? b/c on the write up it says they used the oem ls rods and no engine management

soto2635

what do u think?

BrutalB83

Yeah, you could definitely make more power with a good tune. I would recommend getting an ECU chipped and then custom-tuned on a dyno rather than using an AFC though...

soto2635

who would i go about a custom tune? what that consist of?

BrutalB83

It would consist of buying an ECU with a programmable chip and having the car tuned on a dyno by a professional tuner. I'm sure that sounds really expensive, but honestly it probably won't run you much more than the cost of an AFC (if you're buying one new) and it will be a much better and more complete tuning solution than a piggyback ever will...

soto2635

so for example hondata? what are ur views on pulleys as well?

BrutalB83

I'd probably skip Hondata, and just go with one of the free tuning programs like Crome. Just call up some of your local import tuning shops and see what they recommend.

As for the pulley, I don't really have much experience with them honestly...maybe somebody else can chip in?

soto2635

any other input?

get_nick

pulleys are a waste of money. spend it on tuning or quality parts rather than ebay stuff.

check into an ls-vtec u already got the block new rods pistons buy a b16 head should be around your buget

get a small turbo u can boost 6-7psi daily i do no much maitnace i just do oil changes and check my oil it helps if u have a oil catch can installed as well

BrutalB83

Discussing PSI numbers is somewhat irrelevant until you decide what kind of turbo you want to use. A person could do higher PSI on a small turbo or lower PSI on a bigger turbo and have similar results...

Hey new to the site and planning a head job done on a b18b1 block *bad valve seals are the cause for it* , but I hear ls-vtec is the way to go. Which head should I use if I go v-tec and how much should I be looking to spend for one (including computer/harness) I looked on E-bay and it didn't help at all. I'm not sure if I'm going to go ls-vtec or stay with the original head.

What do ya'll think?

soto2635

b16 head

BrutalB83

We all think you should start your own thread...

tutoneintegra

Thanks for being useless.

BrutalB83

Thanks for jacking this man's thread. Seriously, if you want some answers then go start your own thread, don't butt in on somebody else's. That's how it works around here.

And FYI, do some damn research before asking questions like this. There's about a billion LS/VTEC threads on this site and several write-ups in the FAQ section...
